To allow the terminal operators to plan the vessels correctly with the right information, the VGM must be supplied 24 hours prior tovessel arrival. If VGM details have not been applied at this point and the container is arrived, then the terminal will automatically use the terminal VGM (TLVGM).

Therefore, against each vessel the terminal will assign a VGM cut-off date and time. Once this date has past and depending on theunit status this will determine what you are allow to input or amend.
